Lamp Love

It's been  very very busy at work lately and I am so grateful, 

however it has left me exhausted at the end

of each day and the week. 

Last weekend I  prepped our bed and dressers  for

paint but I haven't been able to find the energy

to do the painting so this is what our

dining room has looked like all week. 

I just want to get it done so that I don't start second

guessing all my ideas. I find that when I'm tired I do that

 a lot. I guess it's the fear that if I make a mistake

I won't have the physical or financial resources to 

fix it. Oh well, ya gotta live on the edge some time,

don't ya.

In the meantime I was so pleased to make a sale on Kijiji 

to put some money towards some new lamps.

I had tried a couple of stores looking for my all time

favourite lamps for this room only to come up short. 

I had spotted these white glass lamps at Lowe's and thought this pretty

drum shade looked so fresh with the base but it is so 

far removed from the lamps I adore that they just wouldn't do. 

So I have taken it one step farther. I thought, why not call the head office

and ask the buyer if they will be bringing this lamp back in stock. Well I got a nice lady

in customer service who told me that without a stock or upc number there 

was nothing that could be done. I told her that I could give her a very distinct description

and that it is not in the store anymore so I can't get the number. She told me 

that without it she can't help me. 

The next day I called again and by chance got the same person in customer service.  

I told her I am just crazy for these lamps and have to just try somehow to see

if they will be available again. She said she understood. I asked her if I could email

a picture of a lamp that is almost identical to send that to the buyer. She said she could do that

for me.  So this is the picture I sent her and now I've got my fingers, toes and legs crossed

hoping I may be lucky enough to hear back from them with good news!

In the meantime, if any of you have a lead on this style of lamp in Canada for about

$40.00 I would love to hear from you. 

Isn't it just sheer perfection, SIGHHHHHH.

and here are some other  beauties that we spied when

we went just window shopping on our long family day weekend

It was nice to get out and go downtown and even stop

at our favourite awesome Italian bakery for some home made

stew and vegies. 

I have round mirror love too!

Very cool real gas lamp

Well have a great weekend!
